Cuteness overload as baby Smudge models for bear rehab charity

A lot of YouTube videos and baby animals are described as cute – but they have nothing on baby Smudge.

This toddler bear was saved from a Chinese bear farm.

These farms keep the bears in squalid conditions often caged from birth.

It is not the fur these farms are interested in, but their bile which is used in herbal medicine remedies.

Baby smudge was lucky as the bile farm owner had been convinced by his daughter that he should turn it into a bear sanctuary providing a safe and comfortable home for the animals as well as guaranteeing jobs for the existing farm workers.

More importantly, just watch Smudge play in his little bath eating an apple, too darn cute for words.
